Creating Logical Drives Across Physical Drives

When creating a logical drive, you can select a fault-tolerance (RAID level)
option and provide information regarding the drive size and array accelerator.

1. Select Array B or the Unused Space icon under Array B in the Logical

Configuration View.

2. Select the Create Logical Drive button. A screen similar to the following

figure displays.

3. In the Fault Tolerance frame, select the Distributed Data Guarding

(RAID 5) option.

4. The Logical Drive Size area shows a graphical representation of the

storage capacity available. To create a single logical drive across this
array, accept the default values. Refer to the section titled “Create
Logical Drive Screen” later in this chapter for a detailed description of
this procedure.
